Sorry post should have read I'm not sure advanced will help with driver installation.

I repeated the installation dozen of times and infact at the begining the "ADVANCE" button was set to off. Later I have set it to ON but it did not help either.

Have you a restore point you can go back to post driver installation so you can start agin?

I am not sure what you mean

I don't think the restore point post is from me.

Anyways, I also believe you on the switch, but I am not 100% sure when it was turned off/on during the process, so - that being the case in my brain - we will just try a few things, and if we can demonstrate that the device installation is EITHER 1) hijacked by Windows when we have made SURE the switch is on, or 2) had the installation program just sit there after plugging in the USB cable - again knowing that the switch is ON, will leave the logical conclusion that the switch itself is likely physically inoperative.

All of the above should not take us too long, as we are now seasoned PROS at running this thing.

Sooooooooooo, here we go.  I will post this and while you are reading through this post I will be writing the post containing the series of steps to run the first of our new installation attempts.

Bob 

OK for our first attempt:

1.  Please make SURE that you have gone back in to UNDO the change we made to the Driver Installation policy in the Local Group Policy Editor.  The steps to undo our change are as follows:

• Hit Windows Start button
• Type gpedit.msc and hit enter
• Expand Administrative Templates, under Computer Management
• Expand System
• Expand Device Installation
• Click on Device Installation (Below the parent level that also says Device Installation)
• Now, in the right pane, double-click on the last item in that list - Prevent Installation of Devices not described by other policy settings.  This will open up that particular policy for editing.
• Make sure that the radio button for Not Configured is selected.
• Click Apply and back out of it all - that piece is done, returning Windows to its default behavior
• Restart Windows - making sure that PRIOR to it restarting you unplug the interface

2.  Now that we erased our prior change, we can try the install again.  First, make sure that the Advance Switch is ON.

3.  Now, run the Windows 7 x64 bit UA-25 driver installation program

4.  When it asks for you to, plug in the interface, using a USB port on the BACK of the computer (they said sometimes the front ones are like hubs which can cause problems - per them).  At this point Windows should NOT see this as a generic device, due to that switch being in the On position.

5.  At this point, your driver installation program should detect the device, again because that switch is on, and it should ask you to click a next button to continue, at which point it will finish installing the correct drivers.

6.  If the above does NOT result in a successful installation, then it is my conclusion that the switch is physically defective, and that you need to exchange/repair the device.

OK - so go try all of the above steps and please post back as soon as you finish.  I do not know what this switch looks like, so I have no way to guide you on which position is the ON position.

And I forgot to also mention that before we chalk it up to a faulty switch, we have to repeat the above test AFTER disabling any virus software - IF the run you are working on now does not work (we may have to repeat the steps after disabling your antivirus software if the other steps I just told you to run fail).

Sorry about any confusion, 

Bob Bone

DONE !!!!!    Driver provider: ROLAND !!!

I have now UA-25 checked in X1s  AUDIO->DEVICES->INPUT DRIVERS  and OUTPUT DRIVERS

UA-25 is the DEFAULT for recording and playback in Windows control panel. Windows Media Player works fine.

Now I go to X1 and hear nothing. The green volume bar is not flashing. Seems I do no know how to assign UA-25 to track input

I have bass guitar plugged into UA-25, and armed track makes no sound. I am also playing back the project that I was done yesterday, bass that I could not hear while playing but could hear once it was recorded. Now I do not hear. There is a gray horizontal bar on each channel strip just under letter IN/OUT. It is set to None and I cant change it

Can you go back to a simpler thing please?

I know you want to run to the end of it all, but so far being methodical is the ONLY reason we are even AT this point.

Please, let's check to see if just playing a simple MP3 tune imported into an audio track works.

THEN we will figure out what is interfering with your bass track.

OK?

Thank you, 

Bob Bone

ok - I was typing when you posted the results of the MP3 test.

OK - so we have some more debugging to do.

I did not see any response to my earlier questions about sample rates in preferences.

Can you go back and provide that info for me please?

Thanks,

Bob Bone

Imported mp3  is visible but there is no sound

Bob, perhaps I overlooked your question about sample rate. It is 44.1 in preferences for new projects. It is also  manually switched to 44.1 on device. Yes,  monitors are hooked I toggle between WMP and Sonar to make shure the lack of sound is not because of something stupid.

It's ok - I just need to reign you in until we make sure everything is working.

I know you got excited, but we just need to finish this as methodically as we started, because THAT's what worked to get us past all of that other junk.

So, at this point, you are in your project, you have ASIO specified for your drivers, sampling rate is 44.1 in Sonar and in the interface itself, you have an audio track with an imported MP3, and when you hit play you get no output.

If the above is not correct, then please post back immediately with any corrections.  I am going to start composing another post, based on the above understanding, while you read this one.

Don't forget to hold SHIFT key when you start Cakewalk with a new driver - it will run through the audio check program.
